8-ton luffing-jib tower crane in the XCMG S-series. 140 t·m rated lifting moment, 50 m maximum working range with 1.8 t tip load. Free-standing 36.7 m without external tie-back; with climbing attachment, total operational height reaches 99.7 m. 550 m wire rope drum capacity. Sized above the 6-ton XGL80-6S sibling in the luffing-jib lineup — chosen when peak hook load or longer reach drives the equipment decision. Specified for housing construction, bridge projects, nuclear and thermal power station builds, and large venue sites.
The XCMG XGL140-8S is an 8-ton luffing-jib tower crane in the S-series — built for lifting work on housing construction, bridge projects, nuclear and thermal power station builds, and large venue sites.
The XGL140-8S sits above the 6-ton XGL80-6S in the XCMG luffing-jib tower crane lineup. 140 t·m rated lifting moment, 50 m maximum working range with 1.8 t tip load. Free-standing height 36.7 m without external tie-back; with climbing attachment to the building structure, total operational height reaches 99.7 m. 550 m wire rope drum capacity supports higher-reeving configurations for the heavier 8-ton hook block. The luffing (pivoting) jib design lets crews raise the jib toward vertical when idle — useful on dense urban sites where flat-top horizontal jibs would intrude into neighboring tower crane swing radii, building setbacks, or airport approach corridors. The S-series control architecture inherits hydraulic and electrical conventions from XCMG's truck crane platform, shortening the learning curve for operators cross-trained on XCMG mobile cranes.
